WE HAVE NO DEDICATED WHALE WATCHING TRIPS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, WINTER MACKEREL SEASON ONLY Please only select this option if you have confirmed an actual trip beforehand. Shetland has to be one of the best places in the world for spotting whales, and while there is always the chance of seeing whales on any of our excursions our dedicated WINTER whale spotting trips will take you to wherever they are spotted up and down the west side of Shetland. We would love to call it whale watching but there is never any guarantee you will see them, but later in the autumn when the pelagic boats are working out in the haaf hundreds of orca gather to feed on the escapees from the nets. (see videos below) Escaping the frying pan only to be snapped up by an eager orca.
